But first, tonight, Mr Hawlings will present his famous Punch and Judy show, just as his grandfather used to … So, let us make merry. And we’ll begin – with some presents!
Parcels are passed around and presents unwrapped to music.
A whistle! A drum! A trumpet!.
A pistol to fire a cork and knock off the Bishop’s mitre!
Peter This is what Christmas is all about, isn’t it?
Kay I suppose so.
Peter (opening a scarlet and white stocking to pull out a toy sleigh) A sleigh … oh … and even better, it’s full of chocolate creams!
Bishop Hello, Kay. I’m so sorry to hear Caroline Louisa couldn’t make it. Do you think she will be back for Christmas?
Kay I hope so. She telephoned this morning, to say that she had been delayed one more night.
Bishop What a shame …
Hands him an extravagantly wrapped gift.
